A cracked radiator @ 65k doesn't surprise me since they are made out of plastic these days. :roll:

I still like the "old school" brass radiators since they hold up better and can be repaired when they do start to leak.

Since you need a new radiator anyway, it might be a good idea to upgrade to the extra capacity version. :wink:
